I am a composer/producer based in L.A. The music you hear in this corner is a small selection of different styles that I can incorporate into a performance.
The musical community in LA. is pretty amazing in 2011. Speaking from the perspective of a composer, it's very convenient to have a variety of skilled musicians on different instruments floating around one gene pool.
I came up through the ranks as a saxophonist, then onto arranging and bandleading, and now ending up in composing and producing.
